According to statement released by GCIS
Government denies president’s alleged involvement in the appointment of SABC’s
COO.

Government has refuted misleading media reports
that imply President Jacob Zuma was involved in the appointment of SABC’s Chief
Operations Officer,Hlaudi Motsoeneng.

Communications Minister,Faith Muthambi said
it is unfortunate that the media choose to vilify the president’s name when he
has absolutely no role to play in the appointment of SABC management or staff
for that matter.

Phumla Williams said I wish to reiterate
that the SABC board and myself were satisfied that the report by the appointed
law firm,which cleared Moetsoeneng of any wrong doing,led to my confirmation of
the appointment as Motsoeneng has been cleared acting in position for several
years.
